A loss of electrons by an atom creates an anion? true or false

2 answers:

4 0

That is false.

An ion is "an electrically charged atom or group of atoms formed by the loss or gain of one or more electrons."

But in detail anion means gaining of electrons.

So, a gain of electrons by an atom creates an anion.

False, a loss of electrons would make the atom positive, it will become a Cation.

Which is an acceptable Lewis structure for a diatomic nitrogen molecule?

timofeeve [1]

Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons (ve-), so a diatomic nitrogen molecule will have twice as many, 10 valence electrons. Then, just draw electrons in pairs of 2 until you both get ride of all of them (reach 0) and you fill every atom (eight electrons each). It can be drawn either way, the important thing is that there are 3 electron pairs shared between the two atoms.

Answer:

Atoms of the same element (i.e., atoms with the same number of protons) with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. Most naturally occurring elements exist as isotopes. For example, most hydrogen atoms have a single proton in their nucleus.
